40 Democrats and 16 Republicans voted against the extension of the Biodiesel Tax Credit.
16 republicans and 40 democrats voted against it. They should be ashamed to be so partisan that they cannot vote for a republican amendment. Clean air, Lower Carbon emmisions, home grown fuels, less dependent on foreign oil. The Democrats wrap themselves around the environmental movement and then vote against this. SHAME SHAME SHAME on all of them.
This was suppose to be voted on in Feb. and was delayed and delayed and delayed by the Senate. By the vote today I believe the Democrats are against Biodiesel. We did better under BUSH believe it or not.
I am one liberal angry democrat. I am trying to build a 10MGPY biodiesel plant and I can't get VC investors to move because the tax credit not being passed creates uncertainty. Investors hate uncertainty. This would create jobs to people working for me and help those in the construction industry to build the plant.
I know many on this blog do not like biodiesel, but it is a go between battery and solar technology that is not viable yet. And it beats Crude oil any day.
